So I turned off my alarm, but woke up at the regular time anyway, so I just came into work. I've done one small thing and filed a bunch of emails already! And I gave myself an extra few minutes over breakfast, which made a world of difference in my attitude. I should do that more often.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Timelies all!
Gary had to get up at stupid o'clock to get a flight.He's got a business meeting in Middle-of-Nowhere, Wyoming. I have today off, for the holiday.

It's probably pretty wrong that I think of today first as my grandmother's birthday, second as Armistice Day and only third as Veterans Day. Oh well, I get there eventually.
Ports are closed today, but the office and warehouse are open. That always makes more for a more interesting week of inventory wrangling.

I hope he's wearing warm clothes, it's cold on the high plains.

How did you find out, Burrell? Did they do any damage (to your account or wallet)?

New York-affiliated people, thoughts on a place to cheaply park a car for a visit to the city? We're talking about driving to visit my brother in Manhattan between Xmas and New Year's. He lives on the Upper West Side and just spun me a tale of street parking horrors when someone else visited him. And apparently hotel parking is $150 a day? Is leaving the car at a commuter station in NJ for free/cheap our best bet? Or is there a better way?

Argh, Burrell. I hope that doesn't cause you too much trouble.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
flea, whenever I come to NYC from north of the city, I always park at the New Haven station and take the train in. I figure it can't be any more expensive than parking in the city itself, plus it saves me the horror of trying to drive/park in New York. I imagine the calculation would be pretty similar coming in from NJ.

Yeah, he made sure to pack his warmest clothes. (He has an hour-and-a-half drive once he lands at the airport.)

That's what we always did, too - growing up in central CT we knew which were the best Metro North stations to leave a car at (some had free parking, but that was a looong time ago). But we'll probably be coming on i-70 or i-80 and I don't know the NJ suburbs at all! And also we'll have luggage, which is an added complication.
